Biography
Jordan Abrams was born in 1970 in New Jersey, United States. Abrams joined the US Air Force, and served 26 weeks at Basics School where she learned that there was no margin for error while being a sniper, seeing that as the golden standard. After the Advanced Designated Marksman course, Abrams graduated at the top of her class at the Close Precision Engagement Course of Fort Bliss near El Paso, Texas. She was trained with Vera Kozar in the only sniper class open to females, and they were trained in advanced marksmanship skills and other useful tactics. Later, she was sent with the Security Forces Counter Snipers Team to Afghanistan and was trained in the M-24 weapons system. Together, they had seven confirmed kills during the Afghanistan War, and she was alleged to have killed the famed Afghan sniper "Ace of Clubs", although Kozar later claimed that she had killed him.

Abrams garnered significant media attention on 30 August 2013 when she was accused of the murder of Chris Pavano, a teenager who was "skirting" in her house with his gang during Hurricane Sandy. There was a power outage, and the teenagers wanted to hang out there, but Abrams believed that Pavano was threatening her mother Candace with what appeared to be a rifle (in reality, a broom), so Abrams used a Glock 17 to shoot and kill Pavano. Pavano forced Pavano's friends Loren Lucas, Grey Michaels, and Dorian Campbell to kneel on the floor with their hands behind their heads as she called the police, but Grey escaped. At around 10:00 PM, plainclothes detective Carey Peeler and fellow detective Jerry Singer arrived and investigated the scene. In 2015, a criminal investigation was opened against Abrams by Lucas and the kids involved in the break-in against Abrams, claiming that she was responsible for murder.
